Brittleness and Impact Resistance

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1969
Impact resistance and brittleness have often been confused as identical properties for ceramic materials. This study determines the conditions under which the static characteristic of brittleness diverges from the dynamic characteristic of impact resistivity.

Impact Resistance Cryogenic Bunker Fuel Tanks

Volume 4B: Structures, Safety and Reliability, 2014
The increasing use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as bunker fuel in ships, calls for an elaborate study regarding the risks involved. One particular issue is the vulnerability of cryogenic LNG storage tanks with respect to impact loadings, such as ship collisions and dropped objects.

Impact resistance of concrete

1987
During its service life, a structure may be subjected to various environmental and loading conditions. However, in general, the properties determined under one set of conditions may not be used to determine the behaviour of the material under a different set of conditions. For example, it is well known that concrete is a strain rate sensitive material;

Assessing the impact of antimicrobial resistance

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2002
Trends in infectious disease mortality, contributing factors, and resistance patterns of commonly isolated microorganisms are described. Antimicrobial resistance was first reported in 1941 with sulfonamides. The frequency of antimicrobial resistance has increased in hospital and community settings, resulting in therapeutic failures, the use of ...

Impact Resistant Polyurethane Topcoat

Paint and Coatings Expo (PACE) 2009, 2009
For the last 20 years polyurethane has been the leading topcoat technology in corrosion systems for both marine and industrial use. Performance, protection, appearance and total cost effectiveness are some of the factors customers have taken into consideration.

Economic impacts of glyphosate‐resistant crops

Pest Management Science, 2008
AbstractGlyphosate‐resistant crops have been widely planted since their introduction in 1996. Growers have numerous choices for herbicide treatments and have chosen to plant glyphosate‐resistant crops on the basis of economic factors. The economic effects of the widespread planting of glyphosate‐resistant crops have included reductions in herbicide ...

Phenomenology of impact resistance and impact testing

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1965
The impact resistance of plastics can be described in terms of three contributions; these are the elastic, plastic, and crack propagation phases. By using a recording pendulum impact device it is possible to analyze any material as to the relative importance of the above phenomena.

Impact resistance: an overview.

Journal of the American Optometric Association, 1982
The basic concepts of impact resistance are reviewed. Also discussed are the research on materials, treatment and testing procedures, mechanisms of fracture and the factors affecting impact resistance. Research has shown that the strength of a lens treated or untreated is well below the theoretical strength of glass.

Impact resistant thermoplastic compound

2007
An impact resistant thermoplastic compound, comprising an ABS matrix, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a modifier, wherein the ABS is of the mass-polymerized type and the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is of the polyester type. A process for preparing such compound was developed.
